Fatal error: Call to protected method WP_List_Table::get_column_info()

  • We have started encountering a fatal error in the WordPress admin on certain pages:

    Fatal error: Call to protected method WP_List_Table::get_column_info() from context 'CPT_ONOMIES_ADMIN' in /home/gpd_wordpress/wp-content/plugins/cpt-onomies/admin.php on line 924

    The error occurs in the admin when attempting to browse to “All Pages” and “All Posts,” as well as to the corresponding overview screens for each of the Custom Post Types we have defined.

    The error occurs near the top of those screens, right after the “Bulk Actions” and “All Dates” dropdowns, so the listing of pages/posts doesn’t appear. (We are still able to edit individual pages/posts if we browser to them directly.) We have not seen the error on the Admin Dashboard or on any other admin screen.

    Disabling the CPT-onomies plugin is the only way I’ve found that causes the error to go away.

    We started noticing this error today, the same day we upgraded to WordPress 4.2.3, however two other sites I manage which I also upgraded today and also have CPT-onomies installed don’t exhibit this problem.

    Any ideas, anyone?

    Update: I was able to prevent the Fatal Error mentioned above if I modified admin.php around line 924 …

    from:

    list( $columns, $hidden ) = $wp_list_table->get_column_info();

    to:

    if (is_callable(array($wp_list_table, 'get_column_info')))
    list( $columns, $hidden ) = $wp_list_table->get_column_info();
    else
    $columns = $hidden = array();

    Practically speaking, this prevents the $columns and $hidden variables from being set, but I’m not sure what this section of code does anyway. Is there a better workaround?

    Thanks for the temporary fix. I was also encountering this problem, I’m not sure what caused it (other than updating all plugins and WordPress!)
